I have been in contact with Telegames for the last 2 years asking about the release of this game. It is the only DS game that has Cribbage I have found to be worth playing. They did an excellent job on the Gameboy SP version so I expected the DS version would be excellent as well. After 2 years of waiting, along with the false listings on sites such as Target that the game was available, it was finally released on November 7th of this year. I was not disappointed. They did an excellent job in converting, and upgrading I might add, the game to run on the DS. Plus with the DS wireless feature it makes it really easy to play against others. I am not going to ramble on about the sounds and graphics. These are card games, not first person shooters or RPG games so as long as the graphics are not outdated they do their job just fine. And they do the job nicely. If you like playing card games this release will not disappoint you. It is well worth the cost as you will get hours of play time in return for a mere $30. Now I have to wait and see how long it takes them to release Ultimate Brain Games for the DS. Their version of Backgammon was the best released on the SP I could find. Hopefully it will not be another 2 years. :-/

Finally...a game to practice your Euchre skills..only draw back is you can't order up your partner without the game forcing you to go a loner...

I had the original gameboy advance game of this and loved it. It is the only card game out there with euchre included. It is virtually identical from what I can tell except the people profile thing has changed a bit and I think I liked the choices better before but that is really not that relevant in the grand scheme of things. They did add more games in all categories but especially in the casino games end of it. I will say since telegames has come out with Solitaire Overload Plus this game does not hold a candle to that one in the solitaire section anymore. I love Solitaire Overload Plus but I am really glad to have access to euchre again and some of the other beloved card games. I will say telegames does the best job in the card game genre. Others always seem to pale in comparison. Once again telegames has done a great job in combining several games to enjoy in one purchase. If solitaire games is your thing only I would purchase Solitaire Overload Plus instead which also includes mahjong and tangrams as well as 200 plus of wonderful solitaire games but if you like the classics such as euchre, spades, hearts, bridge, etc.. this is well worth the purchase.

This game has never been released, and probably will never be released. It's a shame too, as its main rival, Clubhouse Games, doesn't have cribbage on it. I remember, TWO YEARS AGO!!, when I heard this was going to be released being very excited because I love cribbage and I love the DS.

Oh well. Telegames has let a lot of fans down with their inability to produce this game. I have no idea what the hold up is.

Ok this game is already out and why may I ask does Amazon not have it for sale yet go figure....Over all the game is really great if you love card games!
